Data driven computational approaches to predicting protein-ligand binding are currently achieving unprecedented levels of accuracy on held-out test datasets. Up until now, however, this has not led to corresponding breakthroughs in our ability to des...
Computational models for predicting the activity of small molecules against targets are now routinely developed and used in academia and industry, partially due to public bioactivity databases. While models based on bigger datasets are the trend, rec...

Predicting the native poses of ligands correctly is one of the most important steps towards successful structure-based drug design. Binding affinities (BAs) estimated by traditional scoring functions (SFs) are typically used to score and rank-order p...
Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) is an interesting biological macromolecule due to its role in cell cycle progression, transcription control, and neuronal development, to mention the most studied biological activities. Furthermore, the availability of h...

We propose a novel method that predicts binding of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ligands. The proposed method uses hub and cycle structures of ligands and amino acid motif sequences of GPCRs, rather than the 3D structure of a receptor or si...

Accurately predicting protein-ligand binding affinities is an important problem in computational chemistry since it can substantially accelerate drug discovery for virtual screening and lead optimization. We propose here a fast machine-learning appro...
This work introduces a number of algebraic topology approaches, including multi-component persistent homology, multi-level persistent homology, and electrostatic persistence for the representation, characterization, and description of small molecules...
